Thanks for posting the link, Imhififan. I enjoyed watching it.
I’ve long felt that Nelson Pass is one of the most remarkable figures among audio designers/manufacturers, in entirely positive ways, as well as a class act. At the same time as he has produced brilliant and innovative designs over some 45 years he has run his businesses successfully; he and his organizations have been as supportive of and responsive to customers and potential customers as one could hope for; he has established and maintained a very select network of excellent dealerships; and he has even provided much support to the DIY community.
When I purchased an XA25 last year, which I continue to be delighted with, in addition to the many glowing reviews and commentaries it has received a not insignificant factor in my decision was simply that I would prefer to give my money to a designer/manufacturer like that.
Thanks again. Best regards,
